Sunday Dinner: Acceptance

~

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.

Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow.

Let reality be reality.

Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”

“For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining

is let it rain.”

“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty.

It’s openness, curiosity and a willingness to

embrace paradox, rather than choose up sides.

The ultimate challenge is to accept ourselves

exactly as we are,

but never stop trying to learn and grow.”

.

My happiness grows

in direct proportion to my acceptance,

and in inverse proportion to my expectations.”
